I contacted Magix Support of this exact same thing in february, this is what they replied:

Please note that GPU-accelerated rendering is not available for the Sony AVC/MVC format when using the latest drivers for NVIDIA Maxwell-based GPUs (such as the GeForce GTX 750 and GTX 970). GeForce 337.88 or Quadro/Tesla 341.05 (an R340 driver) or older is required for GPU-accelerated AVC rendering. These drivers can be found at: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx

and when I further specified I wasn't interested in the gpu encoding, but for editing acceleration, they replied:

The drivers that were listed are a list of ones that support GPU acceleration, wither rendering or editing. Windows 10 tends to auto update drivers which might be way your software is having issues with using GPU acceleration.

I had the editing acceleration working with some geforce drivers before february, but after that it just broke.

So, yay. Downgrade drivers for one app, but I'd still need pretty up to date ones for literally everything else.

I sound salty, I admit, but, could we please get the editing acceleration fixed? It makes all the difference in my editing tasks (1080p60 lossless video + quite a bit of text-annotations), as with the acceleration on I could have several videotracks of texts flying around without a hitch, without: it is 0-2fps* with one rotated text :|

edit: *2-4fps if using "preview/half" quality. Also, I have MSP14, but I do have MSP13 as well, same issue there

I'm sorry, i thought GPU acceleration was the same as GPU encoding. I wanted to be able to use my GPU to encode the video faster. I will have to use the downgrade technique though. I appreciate you posting this information.

Yea, the thing is that the drivers which support the gpu encoding are the 337.88, those pre-date the gtx900 series by ~5 months. They only support up to gtx 700 series, so you'd have to downgrade your gpu as well.

So GPU acceleration is not available even with a driver downgrade? This seems like nonsense...

Luckily i have an Quadro fx 880M, which hopefully will work

Probably, couldn't say. But, I've mostly heard that the gpu encoding isn't nescessarily any faster than cpu encoding.

From my understanding, doesnt it use them both to speed up the process

So when i got home, i rolled the drivers on my laptop to 341.05 With no success. quite disappointing.

With reinstall GPU drivers AMD/NVIDIA always use DDU:

I will give this a try. Thank you. However i'm not very optimistic.
